The saga of an intrepid PAF pilot who humbled the Israelis

[fatman17]

my experience with the term gung-ho is associated with teamwork, motivation and individual accomplishment. so it is not a negative term as far as i am concerned.

lol well I don't wanna hijack this thread.....But amongst a lot of officers I know being gung ho is not regarded as being a good thing [/QUOT:

Don't worry Fat: It good for me.

Sir,
Thanks for your understanding

No its not impressive or hard to believe. Have you ever heard of a book
Every man a Tiger was written by Lt general Horner USAF He is my course mate we did ACSC and RNDC togather so he gave me this opprotunity.

Very impressive!

Arif Sahib he was one course senior to us a good humble man a great fighter pilot, We were sent to MIDeast to the hot zone, I flew 4 mission as he being my leader , Arif was one of the first pilot in PAF who flew F-104, That fateful day he was in a Mig-21 at 20000ft he called ATC that his engine has stopped and is trying to restart it he was loosing hight very fast and them like I said earlier there is a thin line between a fighter pilot and EGO. While recovering God knows how his plane went into a flat spine and his plane crashed. That is all I know.

what i heard from my elders, he was able to successfully eject from the cockpit. I also recall, there was a black/blue-mark on the left side of his chest, otherwise, it transpires, he landed safely. God only knows what happend to him in the mid-air. I only remember him as a jovial person and a very loving paternal uncle.
